iPod Dock Connectors

I purchased a few iPod Dock connectors from a fellow on the iPodLinux forums so I can get started on my next iPod project. I’m thinking about designing a PCB to solder the connectors to, making it easier to plug into a breadboard. Any recommendations for an extremely low-run PCB manufacturer?

shoot me over the eagle file that comes with it
and I can probably fabricate on for you since
I too have use for the connector as well.
Any chance you know who is manufacturing those
connectors and what the part number is ?

Thanks for the offer, but it looks like same iPod hacker as above, ridax, beat you to it. He’s offering iPod breakout boards that double as a “sniffable” pass-through (to observe how accessories communicate with the iPod). I ordered a board and a female surface mount dock connector to see how they work out, although I thought the price was a tad high. I emailed the awesome guys at SparkFun, and they have already looked into creating their own version — they already have the female connector in stock!
